I just read a crackfic a few days ago that was chockfilled with the most ridiculous euphemisms. Like… “mancave” “love sword” “love juice”… and those were the ones I could remember. I giggled throughout. But I think the worst euphemism I ever encountered in a different fic (somewhat non-seriously) was the usage of “worm”.
@@serenegenerally A Portrait of Passion by Shark After Dark (BambooShark). It's a Drarry fic, but even if you don't ship it, it's still funny and also VERY explicit.
"Worm", as a euphemism, was also used in the quick transmigration novel (if I remembered the title right) "Better to be a Beta". One of the arcs has the rooster gong (you really have to read it) say his 'little worm' (who's his shou and is actually a dragon) also has a 'little worm'.
It's weird because it *is* a synonym for horny. Like it's a state of being, not a physical thing. So when I hear "her arousal blah blah blah", it confuses me. Lol. Just use sex. That's a better word for it that gives off similar vibes. Because you can say sex to refer to genitalia, or "hot sex" to refer to what is involved with genitalia. :D
I saw that one time and I all I could conjure up in mind was an image of two tongues smacking each other around and basically having a thumb fight except with tongues.
As someone who never reads smut and avoids anything with sex scenes in general this video is a puzzle game trying to figure out what each of these are actually referring to.
"One of the healthiest ways to cook sausages is in the oven. It's super easy to do, and unlike frying or grilling, baking sausages doesn't require any extra oil" is what shows up on Google, and, as we know, Google never lies.
I once got “girth” as a vocabulary word in school. That was a difficult week. Every time I would do my English homework, I’d end up with penis imagery in my head. I don’t even like penises.
I was doing a poetry project in high school related to action sounds words (i know the proper term but I don't remember how to spell it), but one of the words that was an example was fap. I did not have the heart to tell the teacher.
I've read multiple fics that have used the term "bundle of nerves" to describe a woman's clit. I always imagine a literal bundle of nerves lol. It gets a 2/10 from me.

"Throbbing member." And suddenly I'm reminded WHY I love reading smut despite NEVER wanting to actually partake in smut in real life due to being ace. Because....some of the descriptions y'all lol.
I thought I'd read some pretty bad fanfics before, but the fact that I've never heard half of these euphemisms has proven me wrong. I've barely grazed the surface. 💀💀
Wasn't in a fic, but a chatroom back in 2009 or something, a guy tried (and failed) to hit on me once by asking if I wanted to see pics of his "harpoon of lust". Like... Yikes, dude.
"Its your boy...throbbing member" ah, yes, 4 seconds in, and I can tell this video will make me laugh so hard that I wake my dad up at 7am (I haven't slept, help)
I'll never forget the moment I received a reply from my RP buddy that read as follows ''He put his carrot into your salad dressing and proceeded to stir'' when I tell you I genuinely pissed myself laughing that night.
@@Oushiro17 I know. I mean, I get that it can be technically an accurate description but I never want to see it again, and I've seen it far too many times. It's just "ugh." Something about the sound and feel of it... possibly the grossest word I can think of
Seeing the term “member” will ALWAYS make me laugh. I swear the first time I saw that word, I was like “What member? The fuck is this guy doing?” Then I was like “OH.”
So many Magic: the Gathering cards can be euphemisms for anatomy On the one hand, you got stuff like Trench Wurm, Batterskull, Throne of Bone, Rod of Ruin On the other hand, you got stuff like Hallowed Fountain, Stomping Ground, Blood Crypt, Breeding Pool
My current pet peeve one is "folds" especially with adjectives added like "wet folds" and "slick folds" maybe I just see it too often. Sometimes when it comes to descriptions, less is more.
slit always freaks me out, because it sounds like something you'd use to refer to as an open wound that has a similar shape, and personally i wouldn't wanna go down on an open wound. and snake makes me think that it's bendy, like a real snake. very uncomfy to think about. also those earrings are dope af i couldn't stop staring.
One that I heard in r/menwritingwomen was, “Her throbbing jazz cafe,” and one that a friend of mine told me he read was, “His lap rocket,” both of which had me on the floor dying. I’ve also heard the term bunghole used in a serious piece of erotica and haven’t been the same since-
I’ve seen “friend” used to describe it once. It was… not an image I wanted to conjure in my head. Just goes to show why I don’t really use Wattpad all that much
Tip for these words: Most of the time, especially for the more common ones, the key is being able to slip in the words so that, in context, it flows and doesn't come across as jarring. So, for instance, "vulval tunnel" (shush, I know) sounds…really fcking weird on its own, but I've used it once where it managed to flow really well with the rest of the narration. Writing these kinds of scenes really hinges on your ability to play around with word-choice. Some words are tame and will go easily with any mood/tone, others will work really well with a particular scene if there's metaphors being used, but won't outside of context. And by context, I do mean the tone/mood of the scene (carnal vs romantic), how the word phonetically fits into the scene (literally how it sounds; "core" isn't going to cut it in everything since…well, sometimes the c and r don't meld well with the sentence), the imagery of the word, etc. Smut is a game of word-choice first and foremost. I've been writing smut for 6+ years. Kinda forced myself to learn the hard way. Lol
That sounds about right… xD I‘ve been writing on the smutty side for years as well (although I‘m not nearly confident enough to call myself any good at it…) and I just go with the flow my mind dictates… xD
So, thought experiment, if I wanted to describe a person's part or smthin about that person during the act, and that person is heavely but rightly associated with something, (for example, let's say explosions- yes I thought of Bakugo from mha, no I do not condone writing smut of him or any 1A student unless at least it's enough in the future for the act to have naturally come at that point for two consanting adults, am I clear?) and of course if the imagery could serve the scene, I would use smthin referencing what the character is associated with, right?
@@clemente3966 Yeah absolutely. Like, if one of the people in the scene is a soldier, "missile" or "trench" would be good cheeky ways to describe stuff. And honestly, depending on how you play it off (and don't over-do it), both of those could be used for more "serious" smut scenes as well. As opposed to comedic, anyway.
i read the word “tunnel” and immediately thought about that “SECRET TUNNELLLLLL! SECRET TUNNELLLLL!” song from ATLA Jokes aside, this is a really good comment for writing in general too (also the wording of the comment is great-) if the word sounds like a fish on land, then put it back in the ocean
@@axiloti6966 Oh yeah. 100%. This logic can be applied to any scene. Like, say, in a horror setting, don't put wiggle when there's wriggle and writhing there as options. Lol. And ooo. Yeah. That fish out of water thought does help explain this all more concisely. Lol
"Womanhood" and "manhood" - words I've read but in Filipino in several pocketbooks. It sounds weird to me as they sound too formal especially when the story overall doesn't use super deep words.
"Mound" always makes me think of the triangle of skin above the labia - what gets shaved of pubic hair. I attribute this association to a novel I read in highschool that referred to a female character's "mound of venus" in a non-sexual situation (it involved magic).
I genuinely thought 'member' was an actual word used to describe meatwands back in the day from the amount of times I'd seen it written down in fanfictions.
If you didn't mean "meatwand" literally, then it is. It's the 5th meaning listed in dictionaries. If you did mean "meatwand" literally, then what's a meatwand? How long do they last? What advantages do they confer over more obvious and durable materials, such as wood? What is the range and extent of the magic they make?
This might just be my brain after 3 straight hours of playing Minecraft, but for some reason, "portal" took me straight back to that absolutely wackass dream I had in which I was writing Enderman porn. And then "nether" proceeded to kill me.
I vaguely remember reading "an abyss of debauchery" in a fic and being amazed at "ooh pretty english words" when I was still learning english as a foreign language. Good thing that phase is over lmao.
I can think of a couple of contexts in which that would work as a descriptor (harem fics with mind break, come to mind), but using it to describe the actual smut is another thing entirely.
I haven't seen "nether" used in a minecraft fanfiction yet and I'm a little disappointed to be honest Also, as a French person, it's quite an exercise to understand all the terms and know what they refer to
There was one fic I read where a section started with "Draco thrust his wand into Herminoe's steaming cauldron." Cue my confusion, bc the fic was rated T I believe, plus the characters hadn't gotten together yet. Then the reveal in the next sentence that they're actually brewing a potion using Hermione's cauldron and Draco was doing the wandwork. Lmao. I try to stay away from smut so I only know about most euphemisms from like memes and jokes and stuff
I know I personally use slit, warmth, core, and entrance while writing... but that's just because I'm a trans guy writing trans guy characters lmao I didn't even know there were this many different euphemisms
Trans guy here who writes smut too! I think a lot of it comes down to what you're personally comfortable with using, especially when describing the anatomy.
Core gives me fitness vibes. Also as a choir kid it reminds me of being told to “engage your core” (important for good singing, not fun in a steamy smut).
I swear, fanfics give you a whole other amazing vocabulary. Just as amazing as this video, but it would be wonderful if you made that Merlin video you mentioned 👉👈🥺
I actually think "mushroom" is pretty clever because there's an entire group of fungi called "phalloides." There's even something called a "phallotoxin!"
I don't read smut, just not my thing, so seeing all these words standalone and not in writing is so odd. It's like i just got a bunch of words and pulled them out a hat and went "yep im callin this a penis"
6:17 my personal issue with member is that it makes me think like... a member of a group. and so then their weewee is literally a human being they have a screaming little j-hope tied onto their body, crying and sobbing in fear
Depending on the context, "dehumanizing" might actually be fitting. But when it comes to some of these, I honestly can't even say which sex are we talking about 😅
It says something about the sort of fanfiction I've read that when you said "sheath" was dehumanizing my first thought was "but humans don't even have those, is that word really being used for humans in the first place?" and only realized several euphemisms later my mistake.
I like the term "Passion" as an identifying word, the descriptive word "Velvety" and the phrase (or something similar to) "Melted into" to describe the closeness of two characters hugging or kissing. All of these work so well in fluffy, spicy scenes. Also when there are confessions and happy, emotionally overwhelmed tears and laughs of joyful disbelief. One of my favourite things.
After reading all of SJM's more recent novels in one month, I've placed "core" on my kill-list. She pretty much ruined "shaft" and "length" too. And if I hear another "steel wrapped in velvet" I might puke. I don't even like drawn out smut-scenes, so /shrug
my problem with the word 'member' being used as a phallic euphemism is that the word exists in other contexts. I'm very aware that by reading smutty fic I did this to myself, but now whenever someone uses the phrase 'member of the team' or, god forbid, 'member of the family,' it's ruined. Throw out the whole dang sentence. Everybody go home. For similar reasons, the word 'length' should phase out of popularity. It's a good descriptor, but it's used in too may innocent contexts outside of being a euphemism, and so many sentences are given a weird connotation.
I've seen almost all of these and I'm honestly questioning wether or not that's a good thing. I also want to see someone use 'mantle' in a smut fic. That'd be glorious.
I'd add that man/womanhood are also okay if it's like,, a period piece fic and/or trying to copy that style? Because in those anything modern would feel weird and out of place to me
Speaking as someone who doesn't really read smut...the fact that I couldn't tell which bits half of these were supposed to be probably tells you something about how useful they are.
As someone who predominantly reads Anthro things, I immediately thought 'sheath' was referring to the bit that gets inserted, not the one that it's inserted into-
Same! I'm a furry and it took me a while to get what she meant 😅 Although technically speaking, in furry terms the bit that gets inserted *comes out* of the sheath, it isn't the sheath itself Also related, some of these work better with non-human characters than human ones, and vice versa
@EpicWolfy98 I know that the proper usage of the term is actually the 'wrapping', but you _would not_ believe how many times I've seen the term used for the instrument itself. Also, on the point of species contention, I absolutely agree. I have seen people write about furries and monsters but use the most _undeniably human-sounding_ words for parts and it's jarring to say the least. Not unbearable, per se, but it's definitely uncanny.
Thats one reason euphemism kinda suck, at least unless its very standardized ones. It can be confusing exactly what they are referring to and its annoying to try to figure out what or having to look up, if it happens many times. Also the language just sound kinda stupid, and often give kinda the wrong image. I think it would be better to just call it what it is. Whats wrong with calling it penis and vagina? (on a webpage that doesn't particularly try to be "child friendly" in the first place)
I have a suggestion for a video! Someone picks a few fics and hides the names of the characters and you try to guess who these fics are about! Maybe you can try to guess the fandom as well, but if it’s too hard you can know the fandom and only guess the characters. Ps: These idea came to me when I was reading a fic with pretty bad but stereotypical characterization and I wondered if it’s possible
The first fic I went and read after watching this had the phrase "Let's see how much ammo you can unload" toward a character crossing the finish line. Like... how perfect 🤣
i’ve seen the words 'joystick' and ‘gearstick' being used to describe you know what,, i really hope i never have to read those in that context again 😭🔫
The words used vary if you’re reading “romantic smut” (just one pairing, mainly character-focused, more emotional) or “physical smut” (rarely sticks to one pairing, focuses on the deed instead of the feelings involved, you could literally swap out characters with little difference).
I can't believe you didn't mention "folds"! It's so prevalent and it gets a -50/10 from me. Every time I read it, I think of that dog breed with lots of extra skin. Then again, I prefer straightforward smut with little to no euphemisms unless it's a romantic scene where using blunt language wouldn't work.
I saw lightsaber used in a star wars fic a while ago and I just fell about laughing. I think it was a bit of a cracky fic but like crack treated seriously and in universe you can totally imagine lightsaber being used in a sexy way especially being said by non jedi screwing jedi.
Honestly the best spicy fics are the ones where words like these are used sparingly, like the instruments in the horizontal tango not being described all that much with the focus writing-wise being moreso on what the characters are feeling, physically or emotionally

Turgid is SUCH a gross word and used too often in these kind of things.
@@Oushiro17 Turgid just reminds me of turd, phonetically. Instant mood-killer of an association.
@@Oushiro17 I know. I mean, I get that it can be technically an accurate description but I never want to see it again, and I've seen it far too many times. It's just "ugh." Something about the sound and feel of it... possibly the grossest word I can think of
"Grond! Grond! Grond!"
"I don't care if you describe it as a scarlet banana, the only thing I am okay with seeing turgid about plants are their cells, got it?"
“Batter blaster”
“Meatwand”
“Manroot”
“Love pudding”
what even-
I feel like Manroot is gonna show up in some marvel smut re:groot
Pleasure casino
I once read “he orchestrated a pants break-in” and it was so golden that I had to screenshot it
Seeing the term “member” will ALWAYS make me laugh. I swear the first time I saw that word, I was like “What member? The fuck is this guy doing?” Then I was like “OH.”
LMFAO
So many Magic: the Gathering cards can be euphemisms for anatomy
On the one hand, you got stuff like Trench Wurm, Batterskull, Throne of Bone, Rod of Ruin
On the other hand, you got stuff like Hallowed Fountain, Stomping Ground, Blood Crypt, Breeding Pool
BLOOD CRYPT XD THATS TOO GOOD
Rod of ruin though 😭
I thought that said breeding pole, which, doesn’t really make it better…
please, smut writers, I beg of all of you, never use Rod of Ruin and Breeding Pool IN THE SAME FIC. EVER.
@@YataTheFifteenth so....can they be used in *separate* fics?
My current pet peeve one is "folds" especially with adjectives added like "wet folds" and "slick folds" maybe I just see it too often. Sometimes when it comes to descriptions, less is more.
the imagery with that one can either be kinda funny, or downright horrifying
@Hypothermic Dysrhythmia Guess The Gender
That nearly made me gag
I can see where overuse of folds could make it annoying, but for me i prefer it over other terms bc its nongendered language to use.
@UCQ8nSCiO8HXCH-BTp1R-DyA Trust me, that's not entirely true
"Chrysanthemum", "papapa", and "sky pillar" gets me every time
the fact that my ao3 username has chrysanthemum in it omfggg
slit always freaks me out, because it sounds like something you'd use to refer to as an open wound that has a similar shape, and personally i wouldn't wanna go down on an open wound. and snake makes me think that it's bendy, like a real snake. very uncomfy to think about. also those earrings are dope af i couldn't stop staring.
NO FR SLIT SOUNDS LUKE THAT TO ME TOO
i think of like a slit wrist and it's pretty disturbing💀
I think of a paper cut where...it should be. OW.
I was reading a smutty crack-fic a while back, and I had the absolute displeasure of reading the word, "brogurt."
10/10 best fic
😂😂😂😂 BROGURT?! 😂😂😂😂
One that I heard in r/menwritingwomen was, “Her throbbing jazz cafe,” and one that a friend of mine told me he read was, “His lap rocket,” both of which had me on the floor dying. I’ve also heard the term bunghole used in a serious piece of erotica and haven’t been the same since-
Oof... "slit" is terrible for me personally. It sounds like someone's gotten stabbed and this is the result. Or like... gutting fish.
The worst one I've seen was "sushi coin purse" to describe a vagina. I screamed
WHERE DID THE SUSHI COME FROM
Wtf
I once read a fic that used “chocolate starfish” for a euphemism and I was traumatized for life. It was recent too.
I’ve seen “friend” used to describe it once. It was… not an image I wanted to conjure in my head. Just goes to show why I don’t really use Wattpad all that much
"You got a friend in me" took a really interesting turn, huh.
Tip for these words: Most of the time, especially for the more common ones, the key is being able to slip in the words so that, in context, it flows and doesn't come across as jarring. So, for instance, "vulval tunnel" (shush, I know) sounds…really fcking weird on its own, but I've used it once where it managed to flow really well with the rest of the narration. Writing these kinds of scenes really hinges on your ability to play around with word-choice. Some words are tame and will go easily with any mood/tone, others will work really well with a particular scene if there's metaphors being used, but won't outside of context. And by context, I do mean the tone/mood of the scene (carnal vs romantic), how the word phonetically fits into the scene (literally how it sounds; "core" isn't going to cut it in everything since…well, sometimes the c and r don't meld well with the sentence), the imagery of the word, etc. Smut is a game of word-choice first and foremost.
I've been writing smut for 6+ years. Kinda forced myself to learn the hard way. Lol
That sounds about right… xD I‘ve been writing on the smutty side for years as well (although I‘m not nearly confident enough to call myself any good at it…) and I just go with the flow my mind dictates… xD
So, thought experiment, if I wanted to describe a person's part or smthin about that person during the act, and that person is heavely but rightly associated with something,
(for example, let's say explosions- yes I thought of Bakugo from mha, no I do not condone writing smut of him or any 1A student unless at least it's enough in the future for the act to have naturally come at that point for two consanting adults, am I clear?)
and of course if the imagery could serve the scene, I would use smthin referencing what the character is associated with, right?
@@clemente3966 Yeah absolutely. Like, if one of the people in the scene is a soldier, "missile" or "trench" would be good cheeky ways to describe stuff. And honestly, depending on how you play it off (and don't over-do it), both of those could be used for more "serious" smut scenes as well. As opposed to comedic, anyway.
i read the word “tunnel” and immediately thought about that “SECRET TUNNELLLLLL! SECRET TUNNELLLLL!” song from ATLA
Jokes aside, this is a really good comment for writing in general too
(also the wording of the comment is great-)
if the word sounds like a fish on land, then put it back in the ocean
@@axiloti6966 Oh yeah. 100%. This logic can be applied to any scene. Like, say, in a horror setting, don't put wiggle when there's wriggle and writhing there as options. Lol.
And ooo. Yeah. That fish out of water thought does help explain this all more concisely. Lol
“Yeah babe let’s get to your mantle.”
10/10 pick up line
"Womanhood" and "manhood" - words I've read but in Filipino in several pocketbooks. It sounds weird to me as they sound too formal especially when the story overall doesn't use super deep words.
Yes the Possessive series books
"Mound" always makes me think of the triangle of skin above the labia - what gets shaved of pubic hair. I attribute this association to a novel I read in highschool that referred to a female character's "mound of venus" in a non-sexual situation (it involved magic).
"Prick" strikes me as insulting as it implies a lack of diameter, which in turn implies a decided lack of satisfying a ability.
"he puts his meatwand in my dripping wound while pinching my mounds"... w h a t
Oh god thats awful
My number one favorite that I've seen in the wild was "choo-choo train"
I feel like a lot of the more popular terms I can't really cringe at anymore because they've been so normalized.
I genuinely thought 'member' was an actual word used to describe meatwands back in the day from the amount of times I'd seen it written down in fanfictions.
If you didn't mean "meatwand" literally, then it is. It's the 5th meaning listed in dictionaries. If you did mean "meatwand" literally, then what's a meatwand? How long do they last? What advantages do they confer over more obvious and durable materials, such as wood? What is the range and extent of the magic they make?
@@Mecharnie_Dobbs only thing I can think of is maybe more power for body based spells?
taste more delicious when it's not raw... and safer that way
"And they fought with their swords" will never sound normal again
“His man stick stood at attention. And twitched.”
This might just be my brain after 3 straight hours of playing Minecraft, but for some reason, "portal" took me straight back to that absolutely wackass dream I had in which I was writing Enderman porn. And then "nether" proceeded to kill me.
I vaguely remember reading "an abyss of debauchery" in a fic and being amazed at "ooh pretty english words" when I was still learning english as a foreign language. Good thing that phase is over lmao.
I can think of a couple of contexts in which that would work as a descriptor (harem fics with mind break, come to mind), but using it to describe the actual smut is another thing entirely.
Makes a pretty fic title, idk about an actual euphemism.
I haven't seen "nether" used in a minecraft fanfiction yet and I'm a little disappointed to be honest
Also, as a French person, it's quite an exercise to understand all the terms and know what they refer to
I have- it keeps showing up and I hate it
"wound" has got to be worst one it actually scares me😭
That one hurt me. It hurt BAD.
All I could think about was someone sticking their penis near a huge gash in another person's thigh
There was one fic I read where a section started with "Draco thrust his wand into Herminoe's steaming cauldron." Cue my confusion, bc the fic was rated T I believe, plus the characters hadn't gotten together yet. Then the reveal in the next sentence that they're actually brewing a potion using Hermione's cauldron and Draco was doing the wandwork. Lmao. I try to stay away from smut so I only know about most euphemisms from like memes and jokes and stuff
The message is, that almost nothing beats the d word itself.
🐓
I hate the d word ugh
I know I personally use slit, warmth, core, and entrance while writing... but that's just because I'm a trans guy writing trans guy characters lmao
I didn't even know there were this many different euphemisms
Trans guy here who writes smut too! I think a lot of it comes down to what you're personally comfortable with using, especially when describing the anatomy.
Nothing will beat the horror of glancing upon the tag "DNA rifle" for the first time
LMAOO
Core gives me fitness vibes. Also as a choir kid it reminds me of being told to “engage your core” (important for good singing, not fun in a steamy smut).
I swear, fanfics give you a whole other amazing vocabulary.
Just as amazing as this video, but it would be wonderful if you made that Merlin video you mentioned 👉👈🥺
I second this
I actually think "mushroom" is pretty clever because there's an entire group of fungi called "phalloides." There's even something called a "phallotoxin!"
There's one that people call "penis envy" 😂
I just can't read the word without picturing an actual mushroom in my head, honestly. It takes me so out of it, haha.
This video gives "exploring the Nether" a whole different meaning
I don't read smut, just not my thing, so seeing all these words standalone and not in writing is so odd. It's like i just got a bunch of words and pulled them out a hat and went "yep im callin this a penis"

my personal issue with member is that it makes me think like... a member of a group.
and so then their weewee is literally a human being
they have a screaming little j-hope tied onto their body, crying and sobbing in fear
NOT THE SCREAMING J-HOPE dammit I'm trying not to laugh and wake up my entire household at this comment
Depending on the context, "dehumanizing" might actually be fitting. But when it comes to some of these, I honestly can't even say which sex are we talking about 😅
well some words are interchangeable regardless of the sex!!
It says something about the sort of fanfiction I've read that when you said "sheath" was dehumanizing my first thought was "but humans don't even have those, is that word really being used for humans in the first place?" and only realized several euphemisms later my mistake.
I would say the funniest one I've ever seen was "Whizz wazz pickle spazz" it still cracks me up to this day lol
I like the term "Passion" as an identifying word, the descriptive word "Velvety" and the phrase (or something similar to) "Melted into" to describe the closeness of two characters hugging or kissing. All of these work so well in fluffy, spicy scenes. Also when there are confessions and happy, emotionally overwhelmed tears and laughs of joyful disbelief. One of my favourite things.
All these geological themed words, there should be a fanfic of just these two geologist
When I’m reading smut I usually dip as soon as I come across an uncomfy or downright awful euphemism for anatomy, takes me out of the story
After reading all of SJM's more recent novels in one month, I've placed "core" on my kill-list. She pretty much ruined "shaft" and "length" too. And if I hear another "steel wrapped in velvet" I might puke. I don't even like drawn out smut-scenes, so /shrug
my problem with the word 'member' being used as a phallic euphemism is that the word exists in other contexts. I'm very aware that by reading smutty fic I did this to myself, but now whenever someone uses the phrase 'member of the team' or, god forbid, 'member of the family,' it's ruined. Throw out the whole dang sentence. Everybody go home.
For similar reasons, the word 'length' should phase out of popularity. It's a good descriptor, but it's used in too may innocent contexts outside of being a euphemism, and so many sentences are given a weird connotation.
Idk man, sounds like more of a you problem.
He's the greatest member of the family!
that's so fuckung funny☠️ but idk i read alot of smut and those words haven't been ruined for me😭
Got to say my favorite has to be fuckstick
I've seen almost all of these and I'm honestly questioning wether or not that's a good thing. I also want to see someone use 'mantle' in a smut fic. That'd be glorious.
I'm sure if you comb through enough Harry Potter slash fics, it should be pretty easy to find.
@@paigemosher8697 the old ones or the new ones. I think you mean the old ones
I once read a fic that had sock draw as a euphemism, and I almost died of laughter.
"Its ya boy..throbbing member" Ah you know the video is gonna be great with a start like that
I'd add that man/womanhood are also okay if it's like,, a period piece fic and/or trying to copy that style? Because in those anything modern would feel weird and out of place to me
Speaking as someone who doesn't really read smut...the fact that I couldn't tell which bits half of these were supposed to be probably tells you something about how useful they are.
I read a fanfic where they just used "the Dong" and for some reason it was the funniest thing i read-
Coley has blessed us
Who is Coley... I only know throbbing member 💀
Whenever I hear the word “member”, I think of Goldmember from Austin Powers.
How ?
I have a huge rodent problem.
"This is a hospital if you mention wound I am patching you up" gave me the mental image of someone pouring cement to seal someones womanhood shut
As someone who predominantly reads Anthro things, I immediately thought 'sheath' was referring to the bit that gets inserted, not the one that it's inserted into-
Same! I'm a furry and it took me a while to get what she meant 😅 Although technically speaking, in furry terms the bit that gets inserted *comes out* of the sheath, it isn't the sheath itself
Also related, some of these work better with non-human characters than human ones, and vice versa
@EpicWolfy98
I know that the proper usage of the term is actually the 'wrapping', but you _would not_ believe how many times I've seen the term used for the instrument itself.
Also, on the point of species contention, I absolutely agree.
I have seen people write about furries and monsters but use the most _undeniably human-sounding_ words for parts and it's jarring to say the least.
Not unbearable, per se, but it's definitely uncanny.
Thats one reason euphemism kinda suck, at least unless its very standardized ones. It can be confusing exactly what they are referring to and its annoying to try to figure out what or having to look up, if it happens many times. Also the language just sound kinda stupid, and often give kinda the wrong image. I think it would be better to just call it what it is. Whats wrong with calling it penis and vagina? (on a webpage that doesn't particularly try to be "child friendly" in the first place)
I have a suggestion for a video! Someone picks a few fics and hides the names of the characters and you try to guess who these fics are about! Maybe you can try to guess the fandom as well, but if it’s too hard you can know the fandom and only guess the characters.
Ps: These idea came to me when I was reading a fic with pretty bad but stereotypical characterization and I wondered if it’s possible
i second this, this sounds sick
With the fandoms I'm in you also need to hide nicknames in order for it to be a challenge for those with any familiarity whatsoever./g /lh
The first fic I went and read after watching this had the phrase "Let's see how much ammo you can unload" toward a character crossing the finish line. Like... how perfect 🤣
i’ve seen the words 'joystick' and ‘gearstick' being used to describe you know what,, i really hope i never have to read those in that context again 😭🔫
The words used vary if you’re reading “romantic smut” (just one pairing, mainly character-focused, more emotional) or “physical smut” (rarely sticks to one pairing, focuses on the deed instead of the feelings involved, you could literally swap out characters with little difference).
8:05 "if used well and not sloppily" goddammit
I can't believe you didn't mention "folds"! It's so prevalent and it gets a -50/10 from me. Every time I read it, I think of that dog breed with lots of extra skin. Then again, I prefer straightforward smut with little to no euphemisms unless it's a romantic scene where using blunt language wouldn't work.
Ah yes, anatomy.
I saw lightsaber used in a star wars fic a while ago and I just fell about laughing. I think it was a bit of a cracky fic but like crack treated seriously and in universe you can totally imagine lightsaber being used in a sexy way especially being said by non jedi screwing jedi.
Honestly the best spicy fics are the ones where words like these are used sparingly, like the instruments in the horizontal tango not being described all that much with the focus writing-wise being moreso on what the characters are feeling, physically or emotionally
